Ma Chao under the city was obviously aware of this, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops, with the purpose of smashing the city in one go.

War is always accompanied by huge casualties.

Qi State has come to today step by step through war, and there are countless unofficial histories of soldiers who died in battle.But at this moment, looking at those injured brothers, Yu Juluo still felt some compassion.

Yu Juluo thought for a moment, and finally came to a conclusion.

I can't go on, I have to find a way.

If you continue to hold on, the city will fall sooner or later, and by then, none of the remaining 2000 people will be able to get out.

After patrolling for a while, he finally said to the soldiers next to him: "Because the Xiliang army has not launched an attack, the soldiers of each department carry five days' rations each, and set fire to the granary in the city, and the treasury is ready to break through."

Although the soldiers were a little surprised, their mission to attack Guzang was successful.The reason why they can't keep it can't be blamed on them.

Although the soldiers were exhausted, they quickly followed Yu Juluo's request without any hesitation.

Outside the city, inside the Xiliang military camp.

Ma Chao, Liu Bobo and others were eating and drinking.

After fighting for a long time, they could all see that Qi State was on the verge of breaking the city.It only takes them to launch one or two more attacks, and Guzang will surely fall.

At that time, they can regain their strength and regain their previous glory.

"King Liang, the state of Qi is extremely well equipped, I wonder if we can imitate it?" Liu Bobo said while holding a crossbow on the table.

Ma Chao felt a little helpless, and was a little dazed looking at this crossbow.

After a while, Fang Cai replied: "To tell you the truth, this kind of hand crossbow made by Qi State is extremely exquisite, and many parts in it are impossible for us to imitate. If we want to produce it, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a finished product in the short term."

Liu Bobo felt a little regretful.

Witnessing the Xiongnu stepping into the state of the dead, he hated Qiguo to the bone.

But he is not a fool.

He understands the strength of Qi.

Because of this, he will learn from Qi State in various aspects.

The system, culture, and military system can all be learned, but the ability of smelting and forging is something that Qi has never spread to the outside world.

Even though Liu Bobo once spent a lot of money, he wanted to go to Qi State to buy the secret recipe.It's a pity that everyone in the state of Qi, from the common people to the ordnance station, is tight-lipped.

Not only did he not accept his kindness, but he also reported all the spies he sent in exchange for rewards.

Liu Bobo, who failed to steal the chicken, could only temporarily put down this plan.

Now united with Ma Chao, I thought I could improve myself through war.Now it seems that everything is overthinking.

Cities and land can be obtained by oneself.But the spirit of the army of Qi and the equipment of Qi are not something that he can get his hands on.

There is no way to improve the equipment, and sooner or later he will be beaten.

Bai Ding, who was standing next to him, saw that they were a little dull, so he quickly joked: "As long as we break through Guzang, all the equipment of the Qi army in the city will be ours. By then, we will be able to equip thousands of elite soldiers."

Liu Bobo and Ma Chao glanced at Bai Ding, their eyes full of helplessness.

Thousands of elite soldiers!

The territory of Qi State is so large, and there are tens of millions of people in the territory. If they gather together, they can easily gather a well-equipped army of one million.

I'm afraid only a frog in a well like Bai Ding would take a fancy to thousands of elite soldiers.

At this moment, Ma Dai entered quickly, his face full of panic.

"Tokuyama, why are you so flustered?"

Ma Dai's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Seeing Ma Chao, he threw himself to the ground and shouted, "Inside the city, a raging fire suddenly ignited in the city. Judging from the location, it seems to be the location of the treasury."

"what."

The people present were suddenly stunned.

Guzang's treasury, that is the key to their march this time.Ma Chao also promised that after breaking through the city, he would give half of the reward to the kings of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

Now that the city has not been destroyed, they have already lost countless lives and injuries, if the treasury was burned down by the Qi army.

Isn't this battle empty-handed?

Ma Chao also understood the importance of the matter, and shouted to the left and right: "Quick, the Qi army must be planning to break through. Immediately, order all the soldiers to gather and prepare to attack."

Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao with some embarrassment and said, "All the ministries are still cooking. If they gather at this moment, the soldiers may complain."

Ma Dai usually has a slow temper, but Ma Chao tolerated him because he was his cousin.

But now, when the fire is imminent, he is still hesitating here, hesitating.

I don't know, if they can't enter the city now, or if they can't get the supplies back from the hands of the Qi army, these soldiers will fall apart in an instant.

There is even a possibility that he will be blamed for losing too much before.

The main army of his Ma clan is not much, if he faces the siege of 36 countries in the Western Regions, he has no chance of winning.

"Mobilize my Xiliang iron cavalry, even if it is climbing, you must climb in for me, hurry up!"

Ma Dai stumbled and ran out.

Chapter 1032 A City Without a Gate

Outside the treasury, the strong wind blew the burned ashes everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burning. Looking at the scene in front of him, Ma Chao's face was ashen, and his palms were trembling.

The Xiliang generals next to him were also pale, and there was even a trace of despair.

Although Gu Zang recovered, it was still a step too late.

"What's the matter, can we rescue some more?" Looking at the earth-colored people in front of him, Ma Chao felt extremely sad.

"King Liang, the fire is too strong, and the Qi army may have used fire starters. Our army has rescued the city with great force, but it is too late. Except for three thousand stones of grain and grass, the rest..." Pang De His face was also burnt with a few blood blisters by the fire, and with his face covered in gray and black, he could also see how terrifying the fire was.

Three thousand stones of food and grass, they have more than ten thousand troops, how should they be distributed?

Even if you eat it yourself, you can't maintain the sacrifice to heaven.

Ma Chao's tiger's eyes were red, this Guzang city originally stored about 40 shi of grain and grass, it was his lifeblood, and the foundation for him to regain control of Xiliang.

Now, it has all been reduced to ashes.
